Car is still here, still slowly ticking things off the list, fuel line is sorted for now, just going to run standard injectors and rail for the meanwhile , then either go for a top feed setup with 666cc injectors or cut the ends of the standard rail and weid an fitting on and put sti yellow injectors (really cheap here in nz and bolt and plug straight in as i've been told) had another go at tig welding, welded the throttle cable bracket together, my tig welding is slowly getting there, love it so much more than the mig. still need to make up a proper bracket due to i just welded the old shitty one the old owner must of made up to a 4mm thick plate with a few holes in it Got around to heat wrapping the downpipe and wastegate pipe, just makes everything look so much cleaner Air temp sensor fitting and bov adapter welded on to the intercooler pipe by a friend now the piping is all done. heater lines are all hooked up and ready to go. alternator is all mounted, for some reason i've misplaced a box of parts it seems like it, can't find the radiator lower mounting bushes, alt adjuster bolt, shit loads of nuts and bolt, so had to go buy new parts or make stuff up knowing my luck ill finish the car and find all of them in the most stupidest spot. im at the stage of sending the car away to wiring but cant at the moment because the wife need a new car, so once that over it can be sent off but while i wait i've just been touching up the small things eg wipers, painting parts/wheels, mounting overflow bottle etc...

Little update. been busy cleaning and painting parts, has been hard painting with the bad weather we have had over the last week here in rotorua made up the wastegate plum pipe today. nice and easy slowly been ticking things off the list, wastegate done, o2 sensor port done, intercooler piping done, paint all front arms done, just need to find a set of injectors still unsure on what to run or to go top feed. after months of looking i finally got my hands on the wiring harness for the starter and alternator ( also does oil pressure sensor) first attempt at tig welding dont jude

Its getting so close, just got a few thing i want to tidy up then i can send it to the auto sparky and get the wiring done. To do... wastegate pipe, i'm thinking about running it the full length of the car and having it come out next to the exhaust. Fuel injectors / fuel lines alternator power steering rack / lines apart from the to do list i haven't been doing much on the car, made a few workbenches, painted the front control arms, waiting for the intercooler pipes to come back from the engineer.

Thanks Timmy, yea will be track car / weekend cruiser

thought id replace the front lower ball joints today, got them pressed out then noticed the power steering rack boot and a some out coming out of it, so i decided id have a look at the boot and could this now got to track down a new rack. would anyone know if a r32,r33,s14,s14 rack would be the same as a c33

Hey all Ive got a c33 laurel, would anyone know if a r32,r33,s13 or s14 power steering rack would fit my c33?

I've still been mucking around with the exhaust system, still got to plum the wastegate pipe in, but the main exhaust is done its all welded up and just waiting for the paint to dry. I finally got my hand on a oil filter stud, nissan here in Rotorua, New Zealand have no idea what the are doing half the time, had to find the part number my self so now i've gotten rid of the factory oil cooler and will be running an aftermarket 10 row cooler

Cheers for that Ad's that would be great if you could

Hey all would anyone know the nissan part number to the oil filter stud

Yea should hopefully sound great might be a little to loud tho. I know lol, i feel the same away and i'm the one building it Got a bit board last night (waiting for vband clamps) thought id made up a side exit exhaust

Exhaust has been slowly coming along

I decided to change turbos, have now gone with a gt3540 which with hopefully spool up faster, started making at exhaust over the weekend, downpipe done now just waiting for the vband clamps and mufflers to arrive and then we are away and moving.Clear coated the spare guard over the week, came out great

Little Update Cleaned up the intercooler and the front bumper support and gave them a quick coat of paint looks so much better now and also finally got a hks ssqv bov

Cheers for that, i've been doing some research into its aswell and have come across the same thing 1 plug is tps and the other one is used for throttle fully open and throttle fully closed.

Exhaust pipe final arrived on friday 3 meters of 3'' aluminized tube, 2x 3" 45 bends, 2x 90 bends and 1x donut BUT ......................... our storeman unloaded the tube off the truck and forgot where he put it then drove the forklift into it yay right in the middle as well
